It's only Rock & Roll but I Like It..



..Yes I do! I don't think I'll never change my taste in music, I grow up with music thanx to my parents that love music as much as I do and they have really good tastes!! I'e always listened to rock n'roll, I think now it's a part on my DNA, even if I've never played an instrument in some ways I feel my self as a musician for the love that I have the passion the respect for the music. My dad is an huge Aerosmith, Beatles, Jetro Tull fan, my mum loves Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Kiss, Joan Baez, so at home I've been used to listen and learn many different kind of rock that's why has been really easy for me to starts at elementary school with Motley Crue, Bon Jovi , Metallica, ACDC !! The other kids used to watch cartoons and listen to "kids music" while I was in love with Nikki Sixx!



I can't image my life without my "soundtrack" , music helps me to get through hard ties or happy moments, it helps to relax or to let my wild side to come out, that's why I've always experimented with new (rock!) generes as goth, industrial, punk, hard core..I'm not scared to try new things but I really can't stand some kinda of music as rap r'n'b or hip hop. I'm sorry ( no I'm not!) but I can't , when I hear something like that I just want to scream and go away!! I can understand a Mariah Carey song it's another language for me, but I can listen to soe of my favourite bands over and over and over..
Today I must say that I'm a little bit more "flexible" and open minded about that, probably because it's true that is some ways rock n'roll is dead, thank GOD the Rolling Stones are still here and kickin'!
I think that I've been very lucky because I've known so many artists that most of the people don't know , and I could learn something new from them . I've lived in London for more that 2 years when I was 19 and there I've "found" the music that probably suits me the most as darker tunes, I felt in "love" with Nine Inch Nails (and I still do!!), Ministry, the Cure, the Cult, Joy Division and many other and I'm so glad with some of my london friends for let me hear new music and new culture.
I'm so thankful to rock because without it I wouldn't probably be the person that I'm today..so let's rock forever!!

Rock n’ Roll baby..

Niente è più sexy di kajal borchie e stiletto…il rock nella moda in 3 parole!! Fin da bambina ho sempre amato la musica “tosta” niente lagne please , ma amplificatori chitarre e live gigs; heavy metal, dark, glam, punk, grunge tutto l’universo rock è fonte di ispirazione per me. L’icona? Sicuramente Kate Moss, fidanzata con musicisti e perfetta rock chick, selvaggia ribelle sexy trendy , la “groupie” per eccellenza. Sulle passerelle sono anni che molti stilisti si ispirano al mondo “rock” per collezioni anche di alta moda, dai più classici ai più avant garde, tutti almeno una volta hanno realizzato pezzi da perfetta rockettara…borchie a volontà, strappi, pelle, stivaletti vertiginosi…tutto condito con tanta tanto kajal nero extra dose di mascara lacca e “bad attitude”. L’ispirazione parte da lontano dalle prime rockers degli anni 70 e 80, la meravigliosa Janis Joplin, Debbie Harry, Joan Jett, Siouxsie, Bangles, fino a Courtney Love , Shirley Manson, Gwen Stefani.


Negli anno 70 prevaleva lo stile hippie, jeans a zampa zatteroni collane fasce nei capelli colore, piano piano i jeans sono diventati attillatissimi e scuri con tacchi altissimi magliette strappate tanta lacca trucco strong e tanto tanti glitters, nelle varie alternative con più o meno trucco o total black per dark e punk. Piano piano le rock chick hanno iniziato ad insossare capi dei più grandi stilisti ,magari modificati da loro rendendoli pezzi unici ..si vocifera che Courtney Love usasse tagliuzzare vestiti di Versace per farne top o mini dress!! Oggi il look da rocker è molto più comune, nessuno ti guarda male se indossi stiletto tempestati di borche (Louboutin ne ha disegnate di stupendi!!)giacche in pelle , tanto nero sugli occhi o unghie nere..lo smalto nero di Chanel è praticamernte un cult ed introvabile. La collezione che quest’anno ha strizzato l’occhio al rock è sicuramente quella di Gucci, i suoi sandali borchiati sono favolosi ed imitatissimi, bellissime anche le bluse con stampe annio 70.
